Long

LONG a small village with many treasures.
Located halfway along the coast between the Bay of the Somme and Amiens, Long is a lovely village dominated by an 18th-century castle, which is one of the most beautiful examples of Louis XV architecture in Picardy. Its parklands and ponds on the edge of the Somme, its magnificent greenhouses, and its washhouses and dovecotes will help to explain its nickname of “La folie de Buissy” .

Visit its church, which retains a 16th-century spire, and see the Cavaillé organ inside.

Don’t forget to visit the hydroelectric power station, one of the first in France, which has provided light and running water to local houses since the early 20th century.

LONG offers you the bounty of nature with its ponds and its river, a true paradise for hunting and fishing. A village that has preserved a remarkable way of life!
